She used to reside in Frankfurt but, She now lives in Florida (gotta love the grey market of the 1980's). I used to have the same year model when I lived in Stuttgart, Germany. 20years later I found this one sitting 2hrs from my house in Fla!

I will post more pictuures after work.

Yes...The front valance is going to be painted with the rest of the car. :D

Performance

Post by XGiWiTHA323i »

Well, she is pushing just about 220hp. I have the timing a tick retarded because gasoline is getting rediculous and I live in town so with that cam I just build up a lot of heat sitting at idle....On the weekends though :wink: She can be a real blast. Luckily with the suspension she isn't as tail happy as my last one. Well I have gotta go to work but I will check things out when I get home.

Fuel Injection System

Post by XGiWiTHA323i »

Continuous Injection System....Dumps as much fuel as you can burn :D

Gotta admit I was really surprised at the amount of pedal I have.

I will get more pics this week after she gets a bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
